The Election i'm Rhod. Island.
No. 20 West Martin Street,
N1ART'TN sBURG, w. VA

PROVIDENCE, r. l., April 7.--Seldom was
there such d lively interest manifested in
an election as that which was manifested in
this city and throughout the state yesterday
Full reports from all the wards Of the city
show that Davis, Democrat, for governor,
has been elected by majority OF 1850. 1t
is thought from returns thus far received
from the various towns that Davis will have
at least 1000 majority in the whole state.
Some towns are yet to be heard from, but
the vote is SO close that it will probably not
reduce Davis majority. Indications are that
the entire Democratic general ticket has been
elected. The new legislature will be changed
considerably, although the Republicans will
no doubt have a majority. The Democrats
are jublant in this city, and large crowds
throng the newspapers, telegraph and other
down town offices

Flowers nd Zimmerman.

TORONTO, Ont, April L a. Archbishop
Lynch has issued pastoral letter to the clergy
Of the archdiocese, warning Catholics against
extravaganza at funerals in the shape of
magnificent collins and heaps of flowers
shaped into ludicrous and unseemly designs.
1t says: "The church permits crown Of
towers, as the sign Of heavenly joy, upon the
heads of children only who have not attained
the age of reason. A simple pail is all she allows
ON the coffin of the funeral of those who have
reached the age of reason. You are hereby
enjoined to see that these rules of the church
be for the future religious1y and strictly car
ried out" The letter also speaks of the enor-
nifty of turning the great day of grief and
mourning, the anniversary of the death of
Christ, into day of pleasure and amuse-
meat.

agreeable, inasmuch as Mr.. Haverly called

to ask for. and the president was not COM

Driving a Sleigh Along a Rail-
Ahead of q Train.

A thrilling scene was witnessed on
Saturday at Hazleton. Near Allen and
Cos foundry and machine shop is a
road which crosses the Lehigh Valley
Railroad tracks. About noon Charles
Herring, a somewhat eccentric char
acter OF the town, drove up to the
crossing in a sleigh, to which he had
hitched a fiery eam of horses. Herring
turned the horses onto the railroad
bed, and fashing the animals furiously,
a mad race up the track was begun.
The employees of the foundry were ter
ror-stricken when they saw a freight
train rounding the curve, and running
at the rate of about eighteen miles an
hour. They rushed out on the railroad
track and signaled to stop. The engi-
neer saw nothing ahead of him, and
was at Il loss to know what the signal
ers meant As he cleared the curve he
saw the mailman and the horses. He
wiistled down brakes and reversed the
engine.
The man in the seleigh heard the
footing of the locomotive and turned
back to ascertain the distance between
himself and the train. The an NAL tore
down the railroad at a terrific rate of
speed, but the locomotive was gaining
fast. When the engine was within fifty
yards of the sleigh one of the runners
broke and the speed of the horses was
considerable lessened. When within
ten feet of the sleigh the train came to
a dead stop. The horses feet were
badly cut up and they were ready to
fall from exhaustion. The sleigh was
also wrecked and would not have pull
led its freight much farther A large
crowd collected. Herring took things
eOolly. He said: BY thunder! that
was a big race, but I think I won."-

GIRLS TAUGHT TO BOX.


Billy Edwards Tells OF a New Fash
ionable Diversion For Young wo
men.
Billy Edwards has a number of girls
rs pupils in boxing. He said to a Sup
reporter: 1--WE just now coma from
giving a lesson to a girl ten or twelve
years old. She is the daughter OF
wealthy parents, and they are having
her take boxing lessons on account OF
her health"
as that the motive that inspires most
of your pupilsP" 1 asked.
mo; they have a good many differ
eat motives. Those among the wealthy
people of leisure-and l have a number
of these-learned to box for the sake
of the exercise, or because they want
to know how. Then l have some
theatical ladies who 60 into it as a
matter of business. They learn to box
because it will make them more grace
full. and because as a matter of business
it will be profitable"
what do you think of boxing as a
ean of exercise for women"
Enthusiastically it is the very best
that a man or woman either can take"
'Better than fencing

toes to the brain. for you have to keep

ponent and your thoughts concentrated.

body, gets stirred up"
VIVA kind of Il pupils do you find
the girlsP Do they learn as easily as
men ?'
81 find them quite apt, but they do
not learn as quickly as men, because it
hasn't been bred into them. Blows come
kind of natural to men, you know, but
girls have never had anything of this
kind before, and so it takes them Ion
ger to learn"
(which do they learn quickest. to
guard or attack"
''Well. l generally find that my pu-
pills are a good deal better at attacking
than guarding. They are not so gu ok
about guarding. but attacking seems TO
come to them naturally. But. then,
there isn't much to boxing, anyway.
You teach them how to lead out and
stop, and after they get the hang of
that once. that about all there is in
it except to keep up the practice. It's
the constant practice that makes per-
feet"
''Of course you use soft gloves with
your girl pupils?'
No, for the most part we don't use
anv. because l don't intend to hit them
hard, but just barely touch them. And
if they do get a little tap on the cheek,
it just hardens the flesh"
''How long does a girl stand up at
boxing?"
''Oh, that depends on how severe I
am. If go about it very gently they
can keep up for an hour or more, but if
l am 4 little bit severe they will get
winded in Il quarter of that time"
The dress worn by the girls in their
contests with this very mild-mannered
boxer is not always the same thing.
Some take their boxing lessons in their
ordinary attire. but that puts them
to a disadvantage, Others use a
SORT of blouse and knee skirt, Or the
fencing costumes with Turkish trousers.
